Well, I'd say that depends to a lot of factors.
For example, in online games like Phantasy Star Online and World of Warcraft, one of the things you do constantly is complete dungeons repeatedly for daily bonuses, money and equipment. There's very strong grind incentive built into these games.
I never truly got bored because most occasions I was playing with different or familiar players on every occasion. Almost everyone always displayed varying combinations of character classes, equipment, abilities and skill, which kept things fresh. Plus, there was the social interaction to add to the value of the experience.
Killing a dragon with a buddy or acquaintance just feels good. Something to consider.

Shadowcat would be interested, since her powers are rather subtle. She's actually a competent hand-to-hand fighter (apparently), being trained by Wolverine and Ninjas and the bunch.
She would have to be a defensive/movement based character. She's been known to be able to selectively phase parts of her body, so she can "walk on air" or rip out organs to do interndal damage.

A coffee mug. I'll have to ration the precious caffeine inside to keep my strength up while running away from the undead hordes.

Kind of spoils knowing the themes to all the legendaries.
- 3 Dragons (Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyuremu) - 3 Cloud Riders (Torunerosu, Borutorosu, Randorosu) - 3 Fighting Herbivores (Kobaruon, Terakion, Birijion)
This gen seems to be revenge of the Bug-Types, no? Lots of cool designs and varying type combinations, in my opinion.

Very much disappointed. Wait... did they really give LUVDISC an evolution?  Also, good to know Water starter at least becomes more bad-ass over time!

Steel Battalion for Kinect sounds like such a cool idea.
It's going to be hard giving proper feedback, but it could end up being terribly enjoyable.

i hate change.. Oh internet, I love you.The human race, gentlemen. Though, I'll be honest the reboot is kind of surprise. Did they explain the move to a new franchise and ip? Devil May Cry didn't have a lot of sequels, although it spawned imitators by the bucketload. Also, Dante as almost no personnality whatsoever. I'm kind of sceptic about the claims of his supposed greatness. He's essentially the japanese Duke Nukem.

Good post on Brainy Gamer about the G4 review, if anyone's interested. The comments quoted in that article are properly insane.  It makes me want to take up drinking.
